Ilia Topuria alerts Alexander Volkanovski versus accepting backup function at UFC 308: “He wishes to get knocked out every year”
Ilia Topuria has actually warned Alexander Volkanovski versus accepting a backup function for upcoming title battle at UFC 308.
Topuria (15-0 MMA) is set to protect his featherweight title for the very first time versus previous department champ Max Holloway (26-7 MMA) this coming October in Abu Dhabi.
'El Matador' had actually naturally recorded the promo's desirable featherweight title this previous February at UFC 298 when he knocked out Alexander Volkanovski in the 2nd round (see that here).
It was throughout a current Q&A previously this month in Australia that Volkanovski revealed his desire to be in presence at UFC 308 and potentially work as the backup fighter for Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway.
"I reckon I'll exist, you understand what I suggest?" Volkanovski stated h/t MMAJunkie)...
